the fact that you are reposting that garbage here suggests that it is
*you* who signed up as 'hercules' and posted it in just about every
forum.

Hardly. I just applaud the guy for attacking the thin-skinned, fanboy
children in those forums.

By what convoluted logic does that puerile rant qualify as an "attack"? It
lacks any substantive examples of the incompetence and fraud it seems to
allege. At best it's a diatribe; at worst it's gibberish.

The idea was to broad-brush certain members of forums without naming
them all and starting 100 brush fires in the process. Fact is, the
guy makes good points and it all boils down to one cause: That too
many hotheads are TOO emotionally involved with their particular
equipment. They need to be reminded that a camera is a tool or a toy
and NOT a lover.

Too emotionally involved with their equiptment! Are they made of plastic?

So you're a troll.

That you agree with them doesn't make them good. In fact, history
would indicate the exact opposite.

Actually, I don't see that he makes *any* points. All he does is accuse DP
Review's reviewers of dishonesty and incompetence without citing even one
concrete example.

: and it all boils down to one cause: That too many hotheads are TOO
: emotionally involved with their particular equipment. They need to be
: reminded that a camera is a tool or a toy and NOT a lover.

Even if DP Review's forums *are* crawling with fanboys, why should you or I
care? We don't have to read their stuff. People go to DP Review to get
unbiased information about the equipment they test. If they're not providing
that, and you can prove it, that's one thing. But how does the rant you quoted
contribute to anybody's understanding of anything? Accusing a list of people
most of us never heard of, of being fanboys certainly doesn't do it.

Difference is, I'm not defending the indefensible, making up
attributes for products to minimize faults. In other words, unlike
them, I have no blind faith in any system and I recognize flaws in
those systems for what they are: flaws.
